Just being realistic that felt made for Trump's audience with the sex while a man burns alive

If they do power to em, that just seemed to lean into misery for the sake of it which is all thats left and my last escape seems to want to indulge in it too. 

but yeah this has been a huge downer for me, made me feel super disconnected from the hobby and genuinely question who the market is.
...
It kind of told me my escape won't be what I wanted anymore and I'll find a new hobby to hide away in.
...
but this industry and world just aint for me no more.

Me me me me me me me me me me.

There's so many weird posts on that forum where they're like "I love this game but the fans make it impossible to enjoy" and similar. It's like, who fucking cares? Just enjoy the game? Don't go reading Twitter or forums about it? Or find "safe" forums like Era where everyone is playing it for the high femme ideals instead?

That Nepenthe post, and many others on there, drips with this unfathomable weight that this or that "community" (or "news events") supposedly places on them. You can just opt out! Repeat after me, you're allowed to be an individual. What other people are doing does not reflect on you if you aren't participating and especially not if you're criticizing it. Nothing will happen if you just ignore it. There's nobody to hold you to account except yourself.
